Holy Crushamoly
When Phoebe is asked to join the debating team, she's surprised, but excited. She'll get to attend after-school debating meeting and competitions – all with her new teammate, and secret crush, Jagath.
But when Phoebe's dad makes it clear he doesn't like her hanging out with Jagath, she can't understand why. Does he know about her crush? Or is it something else?
Phoebe knew she'd have to stand up in front of a class to debate; she didn't realise she's have to stand up her herself, and everything she believes in.

There's a reason that the number thirteen is bad luck... Sometimes it sucks to be thirteen!
No-one escapes thirteen unscathed - not even the best-looking, most popular people with the straightest teeth and shiniest hair. The best you can do is be true to yourself, even when everything's changing.
Girl v the World is a funny, inspiring and heartwarming new series about thirteen-year-old girls taking on the world. Because you've got to be strong to take it on.
It's a collection of age-appropriate stories for the 'forgotten' girls - the girls who have been pushed up from middle fiction straight into paranormal romance. The authors address first kisses, friendship dynamics and bullying in an accessible and non-patronising way - which is a refreshing change for this age group, who feel like nobody seems to 'get them' anymore.
